So...Bart & I asked, where did the band The Afters get their name? Thanks Preston for emailing us the answer & in a quick manner! What a blessing to have listeners that listen and help out...you know we really don't know it all ;-)!

What’s behind the name The Afters, though?
Josh: It has a couple different meanings. We like to think of it as a term for how after, like in this life, for important events – whether it’s birth, death, ya know — life changing things – or things like 911 or the hurricanes we had in the past year. These events in our lives emerge and change people. After all those things, you can see God’s hand how God is always in control no matter what we encounter. And … it’s also a term for desert. There’s another cool meaning, like in parts of England and Ireland, it’s a term for something that happens after a formal wedding or a banquet and if you can’t afford the formal thing, you can go to the afters where everyone is invited
